Rotoworld.com (usually fairly reliable) says Cotts will also go to Boston in the deal. I don't like that very much. Why are we ADDING a pitching prospect in the deal?

It better be Mr. Wrong and not Cotts.

Maybe Boston only will take Cotts since he pitched so well against the Yankees.

They can have Danny Wrong, but NOT COTTS! I am ok with throwing in a prospect, but Cotts is one of our top kids.

Just can't keep up with all the possibilities and it makes you wonder if it's just the sports guys throwing things out there to earn their salary. I can't see Cotts in this trade, but then again who really knows. I don't even like the idea of giving up Wright just to make the bigger trade of Manny for A-Rod go through. I just don't want the Chisox to be the patsies in this one so the Red Sox and Rangers can make it happen.

The Score 670's George Offman reported this morning that the inclusion of Dan Wright rumor in this Nomar trade are false. No mention of Neal Cotts.

I can only speculate if Kenny Williams is throwing extra prospects in this trade, he might be trying to pry loose Johnny Damon or B.K. Kim in the deal. If Boston ends up having to dole out extra money to make the A-Rod trade happen, they might have to jettison some players like Damon or Kim. Just my opinion.

No No No. Remember how well Danny pitched at Fenway? That's who they want!
